Safari

We are on day 3 of our safari and we have seen a lot of animals. I think going on a safari is one of life’s greatest adventure…

We visited Lake Mayanara National Park in the Mto Wa Mbu region. Lots of primates and birds. The “birders” in our vehicle were just having a field day looking at all the birds. Africa is the place to go for birds.

We also saw a few giraffes in the park. There was one that I spotted along the drive and asked the driver to back up. That was incredible as the giraffe was quite close to the vehicle.

As we are travelling with G Adventures, a portion of their profit goes to supporting local communities and initiatives so that the people can be self-sufficient. Here in Tanzania, G Adventures work with the Clean Stove for Maasai project (https://www.gadventures.com/blog/clean-stoves-in-tanzania-a-new-planeterra-project/). We visited a Maasai village and saw first hand how things have improved for the women.

Yesterday we made our way through Ngorongoro National Park onto Serengeti National Park. We are spending 2 nights in the Serengeti and we saw an amazing sunset.
Jeff has been writing down the names of the animals and the list has been growing.

We are also fortunate to see many baby animals. They are just so cute!
We have been quite lucky on this trip thus far as we have seen many animals up close. The adventure continues…
